In inventory transfer I am unable to add a custom field for each item line. We require to display a few extra fields on each item being transfered being transfered.
Custom fields are only possible for the whole document.
This is because inventory items are considered to be indistinguishable from one another for purposes of inventory management. One inventory item can be mixed with any others in any location as long as they are the same item. Consequently, even inventory items themselves cannot have line item custom fields.
When you see a line item custom field on a sales invoice, as one example, the custom field is being applied to the sales invoice, not to the line item. So if you were adding a serial number, that serial number would apply to the item sold, having nothing to do with management of the item in inventory. As far as Manager is concerned, you have taken one identical item from stock. The fact that you annotated the sales invoice with its serial number as you did so has no effect on inventory.
Can you share more about your use case?
Sir,
I use inventory transfer for 2 cases.
Case 1:
I purchase Gold Bullion and Alloy. I send it to Gold Smith to Convert to Gold Jewellery.
For which I have made the Gold Smith as a Inventory location.
I transfer the Gold Bullion and Alloy to the Gold Smith (Inventory Location Transfer)
Then I use a Production Order to Convert the Gold Bullion and Alloy to Jewellery.
and Finally do a inventory transfer back to my Own Shop (Location)
This enables be to track location and quantity of items and convert between two items.
However when I do an inventory transfer to the Gold smith. I need to mention on each line
Sr No. /Qty. /Description/ HSN Code /Gross Wt./ Rate ( Calc in Percentage % ) /Nt Weight.
- /10 /Gold Jewellery/7108/100 g/ 96 % /96 g
I am unable to add custom fields on the line in order to display this on the Inventory Transfer Printout. Which we call Issue Voucher by changing the title.
Like Sales Invoice these custom fields are unrelated to the item and wont affect inventory.
Addition of line item serial numbers has been discussed, and sample theme code provided, in other topics of the forum. So you can add that to your custom theme with the modified title. Qty is already present. All the rest could be edited in the Description field of the transfer form. (Only the item affects inventory counts. Descriptions are entirely optional.) You would be missing separate column labels, but the information would be there. Depending on where else you use the inventory item descriptions, you could even put that information into the description in the item definition itself.
I’m not sure why you need the HSN code. Based on the workflow you described, these are not taxable transactions. I assume the goldsmith must invoice you separately for work making the jewelry.
You are right sir. But what I would do is create custom fields for each line and then display a total at the bottom using javascript.
In sales invoices as I can add custom fields in each line item. I am able to display some totals of Gross wt and Net wt at the bottom. Using Javascript.
Hence a feature enhancement would beneficial here for my work flow. Since its been added else where. Perhaps in the future it could get incorporated here.
